Bush's New Plan for the Past

The President speaks to a time long passed.
From his speech of January 10, 2007:
"... The consequences of failure are clear: Radical Islamic extremists would grow in strength and gain new recruits."
[Already happened.]

"They would be in a better position to topple moderate governments, create chaos in the region, and use oil revenues to fund their ambitions."
[Already are.]

"Iran would be emboldened in its pursuit of nuclear weapons."
[Already been doing that.]

"Our enemies would have a safe haven from which to plan and launch attacks on the American people."
[We now have enemies everywhere.]

"On September the 11th, 2001, we saw what a refuge for extremists on the other side of the world could bring to the streets of our own cities."
[Still trying to connect Iraq with 9/11.]

"For the safety of our people, America must succeed in Iraq."
[Iraq is already lost.]
